- decided that we would have another group meeting monday at 1pm. by this stage we will all have a few example to discuss and we can stat to organise into some sort of structure/ template.

- whole group unsure about terminology difference type of urban housing then doing and typological approach and so sort explanation from both Tutors.

- Typology brainstorm , came up with the idea to look at public housing as a type of urban housing v's other possible typologies in order to help with final design research.

- important info to find:

# of units, climate, architect/ date completed, philosophy, density requirements? , connectivity, layout of interior space, ecological footprint, plot ratio, type of space, internal environment, internal functional zone relationship. public space utilisation, proximity to transport, sustainability.
